By taking part in the event, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that: (a) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event; (b) They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore; (c) They accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions; (d) Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate; (e) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers by the event organizer does not relieve them of their own responsibilities; (f) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances; (g) It is their responsibility to familiarise themselves with any risks specific to this venue or this event drawn to their attention in any rules and information produced for the venue or event and to attend any safety briefing held for the event. 23. INSURANCE 23.1.

COVID-19 guidelines in operation at the event may restrict the support boat provision; consequently the upper wind limit for racing may be reduced. 25.1.3. On Thursday 10th June at 20:00 a final decision will be made on whether the event can proceed based on the forecast wind strength and any change in COVID-19 restrictions.

All day cafeteria both days, food will be available on Saturday after sailing and should be pre-booked before going afloat. We can provide a one course sit down meal for £8 with the bar open in the upstairs bar/lounge area. However we would need a minimum of 20 meals to make this service viable but can only sit a maximum of 55. This restriction is to comply with current COVID regulations. If we don’t get the minimum take up for food then the opening of the bar also not viable. The way this would be managed is: - We provide a reservation facility (make your menu choice and pay on the day) for a sit down meal on our web site at the same web location as you book camp/cv spaces/enter. - If we meet to 20 – 55 requirement by the late entry date we go ahead, if not we will advise by email that we, unfortunately, cannot provide food upstairs as our minimum number has not been met but food will be available, on a take away basis, by booking on the day directly with the cafe.

    SOUTH COLNE DETAILED STRATEGIES SUB-AREA 3 South Colne character South Colne is characterised by flatter topography as the River Colne approaches its confluence with the Thames. Braided watercourses and flood meadows typify the landscape, which is dominated in aerial views by a series of large reservoirs, the product of historic gravel extraction industry in the area. The South West London Reservoirs are internationally significant for the populations of overwintering birds they support, some from as far afield as the Arctic. This area also includes Heathrow airport and the extensive associated transport infrastructure. In close proximity to the airport lie some significant heritage assets including Harmondsworth Barn, the largest timber- framed building in England. © Brian Robert Marshall CC Andreas Trepte, www.photo-natur.net Harmondsworth Barn River Colne flowing through Staines Moor Lakes and reservoirs important for SOUTH COLNE overwintering wildfowl DETAILED SUB-AREA 3 STRATEGIES © Stefan Czapski The Causeway at Staines Reservoir Ankerwycke Priory - home to the Ankerwycke Colne Brook at Wraysbury - important for Yew wildlife Colne & Crane valleys green infrastructure strategy 51 South Colne area strategy overview The strategy for South Colne and Heathrow associated opportunities for education and is to improve and repair the landscape and interpretation and new viewpoints. connectivity for people and wildlife, conserve INTERWOVEN RIVERS and enhance valuable ecological habitats and Water and biodiversity enhancements should aim promote access for all to new and improved to restore floodplains and focus on the benefits of RECREATION landscape destinations. natural landscapes to contribute to natural flood LOCAL + GLOBAL management in this low lying landscape.

  • Horton and Wraysbury Character Assessment
    Horton and Wraysbury Character Assessment June 2015 Horton and Wraysbury Parish Councils Contents 1. Introduction 2. Landscape Setting 3. Townscape Character Appendix 1: RBWM Landscape Character Assessment, 2004 - Extracts Relevant to Horton and Wraysbury 1 INTRODUCTION About this document This document, prepared by Horton and Wraysbury Parish Councils, provides an overview of the character and key qualities that define the built up areas of the parishes of Horton and Wraysbury. It has been produced as one part of a larger project – the Horton and Wraysbury Neighbourhood Development Plan. Once adopted, the Neighbourhood Development Plan will be used by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead when considering planning applications which are submitted within the designated area. This Character Assessment supports the design and character policies progressed within the Neighbourhood Development Plan, and will help to ensure that development proposals are designed in a manner which is complimentary to and reinforces the distinct and special character of Horton and Wraysbury. 2 LANDSCAPE SETTING An aquatic landscape The Parishes of Horton and Wraysbury lie in a landscape which is largely shaped and characterised by water features. These water features take a variety of forms, and include: The River Thames; Wraysbury Reservoir and the Queen Mother Reservoir; and ‘Man-made’ lakes formed from disused gravel pits. The River Thames lies to west of Wraysbury, and in this area diverges into the New Cut, the Colne Brook and some unnamed tributaries. Lakes of varying sizes, originating from former gravel workings are a particular feature (during the 1930’s, due to the presence of huge quantities of gravel in this area, farming started to give way to the minerals extraction industry).

  • Orthoptera Recording Scheme for Britain and Ireland
    ORTHOPTERA RECORDING SCHEME FOR BRITAIN AND IRELAND Newsletter 25 - February 1999 Editor: John Widgery 2I FieldYiew Road Potters Bar Herts EN6 2NA Tel: 01707 642708 INTRODUCTION It seems incredible that another year has passed since the last newsletter (NL24). This current newsletter is inænded to update all readers of the most significant developments since then. Of course, those of you who take British Wildlife magazine may already be awarg tlrough my 'rWildlife Notes', of some of the information contained herein. The success ofthe scheme relies upon your endeavours and, once again, I am indebted to the many of you who have submitted records and also to Paul Pearce-Kelly, Rachel Jones and Bryan Pinchen for their contributions on rare species. SUMMARY OF HIGHLIGHTS In comparison with recent years, the summer of 1998 was disappointing, although parts of southern England did have some reÍlsonably warm and dry weather during August and early September which is probably the most important period for the breeding success of many species. It was, perhaps, not surprising that there were fewer records submitted during 1998 as compared with the previous yàr but, even so, there were still several thousand which involved a total of 349 new l0hn squares (including 68 post-1970 refinds). Of these, 195 (including 23 post-1970s) were for 1998, including first ever records for Roesel's Bush Cricket, Metrioptera roeselii, in the Channel Islands, Long-winged Conehead, Conocephalus discolor, in Cambridgeshire and Lesnets Earwig, Forfcula lesnei,in Worcestershire and also a national first for this latter species in lreland. Additionally, we had the most northerly yet records for Lesser Marsh Grasshopper, Chorthippus albomarginqtus.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 - 2 - - ABSTRACT - Phytoplankton ecology of a new, artificially mixed Thames Valley Reservoir at Wraysbury, Buckinghamshire, was investigated during the period from late 1971 to early spring 1974. Biological, chemical, and physical aspects and their inter-relationships are discussed in reference to artificial mixing. Nitrates and phosphates were never limiting, and showed little fluctuation with phytoplankton growths. Although silicate concentrations decreased during vernal and autumnal diatom pulses of Stephanodiscus astraea (Ehrenb.) Grim. Stephanodiscus rotula (Kutz.) Hendey, dissolved silica seemed to be of secondary importance in limiting rates of growth or maximum yields. Particular emphasis was placed on the interactions of the seston, in particular the ratio of productive to non-productive particles as determined by particle frequency-size analyses using Coulter Counter Models A and B with 100 and 200 p.m.
